             Summary: investigate safe replacement for org.eclipse.jgit.internal.storage.file.FileRepository
                 Key: JBIDE-14647
                 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-14647
             Project: Tools (JBoss Tools)
          Issue Type: Task
          Components: openshift
    Affects Versions: 4.1.0.Beta1
            Reporter: Andre Dietisheim
            Assignee: Andre Dietisheim
             Fix For: 4.1.0.Beta2


In org.jboss.tools.openshift.egit.test we have a class TestRepository that we use to test our EGit utils. This class is using *org.eclipse.jgit.internal.storage.file.FileRepository* which is marked as internal, not publicly exported. We should look into a replacement since using it is not safe.

I mailed jgit-dev on the 27th of May:

we heavily use egit/jgit in our OpenShift tooling. We have our own set of tests and in these we use org.eclipse.jgit.internal.storage.file.FileRepository to check our commit- and push-facilites work right.
Unfortunately org.eclipse.jgit.internal.storage.file.FileRepository is marked as internal and using it is therefore not safe/recommended. Can you please export this class publicly or point us to a public replacement?
